The First Day of School: Two Differing Accounts

They read a book about a hedgehog, but “the bee didn’t like him. The bee thought the hedgehog story was too silly, so he left the room talking about wonderful things.”

The teacher told her to sit down. She got in big, big trouble.

She played with the kitchen. She made some chips, and she gave them to everyone.

They went on the playground and she climbed up a tree, but a little boy said, “No, you can’t climb up a tree, because it’s too dangerous!” That was not nice.

They had a dinner of pretzels and apple juice. It was yummy.

There were kids named Charlotte, Sienna and Quensin. “You mean Quentin?” “No. Quensin.”

According to Bennett:

There were 5 kids in their class.

They did not sing “You Are the Music in Me” from High School Musical 2.

They read a book about a raccoon who kissed a mother on the mouth. It was called The Wubby Book. The little kids didn’t like that book. They cried. [The part with the bee happened the way Sutton described it.]

Love it! I get to spend an hour a day in kindergarten and really, I love it. It is a break from the big kids and I especially love getting to read to the kids. I read a Dr Seuss today called, There’s A Wocket in my Pocket. I can only imagine what the kids told their parents about the crazy story Mrs Turner told them!
